According to the source, from the initial start of SCB, there is no master plans and land use plan for SCB leading to haphazard development of Secunderabad Cantonment area. Secunderabad Cantonment is spread over the area of 40.17 square kilometer over which 5-6 lakh people living. The area is local body which is administrated by Union Defence Ministry.
